If only they could integrate this with Apple TV, then users could stream live TV to their TVs.
Alternately, one's iTunes library could be made available for streaming to one's computer. (That was supposed to sound funny, but it's a real proposition for the "home server" group.)
To set up a DRM system that allows a copy of the protected media to be displayed anywhere, but still protected, you'd need a unified media platform at the hardware level. It's not only insane, it's scary. It's like Trusted Computing, but with everything: TVs, portable devices, media servers, etc.
This would be the END of fair use.
"Sure, you can make a copy of that movie, but with these restrictions and only on these devices."
I'd sooner stick with the current system of breakable DRM;)
AJAX makes sense wherever the app should be interactive or realtime (relating to server-side data).
Keep in mind, that a non-AJAX, plain HTML version should be kept as an option for all users.
They already built Kazaa. Kazaa works fine. Kazaa has been rebuilt in the form of a half dozen other programs. The licensing is much easier for TV shows and the like- there is none.
In the US, our ISPs aren't supposed to filter or block anything, at all. It's what allows them to stay neutral parties. Does the UK have anything similar?
I count two hours until a Greasemonkey script comes out to just set the CSS "display" of all the ads to "none".
Now we can load the ads, and hide them from view.

I've been using Democracy Player since its release, and it's only gotten better.
:)
This should give things a boost

Novell worked out a deal with Microsoft. Novell got a big bucket-o-cash, and Microsoft got what still seems to amount to nothing.
Now with this, it seems like two things are true.
1.) Novell costs Microsoft money.
2.) Novell actively works against Microsoft.
Awesome
I loved that article.
...but can't, due to meddlesome laws.
I would love to shoot everyone I don't like, but I can't.. damn those meddling laws!
It only takes one dedicated hacker to rip the disc. Once it hits BitTorrent and IRC, it might as well be everywhere.
Not so fast. HDMI wouldn't really be a means to do anything neat with making backup copies. You'd have to tie the backup to each user.

Mod parent up Funny. That was great.
Once you rip the files from the disk, you can pass them out to your 100 million closest friends over LimeWire.

Imagine exactly how many weeks it will take for Apple to push out an iPod that takes advantage of exactly the same WiFi.
Me too!

That's not the idea. You can't have it "set up." You had the child configure it and at no point were you ever aware of the contractual arrangement.
Say you had a child click "I agree." Children can't engage in contracts, right?
It gets even better. If you get both your copy and someone elses, you can lay them over each other and do an analog mix of the two for each channel.
Not only did your sound quality just go up, it's no longer DRM'd at all!

You could pull off a CSS binary-only library.
2 functions: encode() and decode()
We know.
That's why it's funny.
Is he right -- is the open source world free from such possibilities?
Yes.
They named this vaporware "Freenet 2."
Plus, I can't send it back with a different movie because we only get one at a time.
Kinda tough to send two back in the same envelope if I only have one movie out at a time.
It's a pain when you get your movie and you have to be careful to avoid damanging the return envelope while you open it.

It's a rich guy who isn't trying that hard to get richer.
